Huawei joins global cybersecurity forum

Huawei has become a founding member of the Global Forum on Cyber Expertise (GFCE).

The forum aims to bring together a range of private
companies, intergovernmental organisations and governments to work towards
ensuring a “free, open and secure cyberspace”.

It will focus on sharing experience and best practice in
four areas; cyber security, cybercrime, data protection and e-governance.

“Huawei supports the GFCE’s mission of collaboration to
ensure that as societies become increasingly digitised and interconnected, we
work together to find ways to minimise the disruptive threat of
cyber-criminality,” said John Suffolk, Huawei’s group chief security officer. “We
have long advocated for global standards in the area of cyber security. GFCE
is, we believe, a key step in the right direction towards that ultimate goal.”

The forum will be consistent with international laws, the
Charter of the United Nations and other internationally-recognised conventions.
